It's all fine calling patents bullshit until you start getting large corporations stealing technology from small and medium enterprises.

The way to ensure that large corporations and no small businesses can thrive have an even bigger monopoly is to get rid of the patent system.

Tired of this shit on Lemmy. Do your homework.

It's currently used to monopolize important discoveries and technologies. The Huawei debacle is the biggest proof. No country should be able to control another's technological advance based on weither they're friends with them at the moment or not. Also, it's not like big tech stealing from small/medium enterprise never happens. Either they just buy the company or strangle it one way or another to bankrupt it and then buy it for cheap.

Just because big tech does these things doesn't mean we should remove any pretense of rules against it. If they want something a little guy has, they should buy it, not take it for free.
